Does anyone else have "Silver Bells" running through their head at this moment, or the "Silver and Gold" song sung by Burl Ives, from my favourite Christmas show of all time, Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Yukon Cornelius and the 'Bumble'...hahahahahha) Maybe you're thinking about tinsel? Perhaps shimmery stars? Wherever *silver* takes you, we want to know!

My inspiration for you begins with this card, using my new Stampendous Candy Canes stamp. The silver appears in the dots surrounded the image, as well as in the little merry die cut. I decided that blue, green and purple went quite well with silver...

My second card was inspired by Tracey's tag on Day 2 of her amazing 12 Days of Christmas series, so I went with a tag and card combination, using my Winnie and Walter mini birch trees stamp (I inked it up sort of 'graident-ish' style with three shades of blue) and Peace die, cut from sparkly silver paper. In real life, this paper is 'brillliant'...

Oh my, Carol, both these cards are stunning. I absolutely adore the colors! The first one the blues are unexpected, but oh so beautiful! I also really like the use of the silver. Just so pretty. On the second card, the use of the blue and silver is used to their full advantage with the ombre in the background and the sparkly silver sentiment. Absolutely fantastic work! :)

Me too is a huge fan of all Rudolph songs....especially the one where Grandma is run over by him....Can't remember the title of it, but I have always found it hilarous to hear at Christmas. Humour is always a fabulous thing....no matter the time at year :)Love your HUGE candy canes, Carol :) I might have to check out Stampendous!

Oh, I love that beautiful first card, Carol!!! The candy cane stamp is gorgeous and I really like the silver dots surrounding it - it looks great!!! Your peace card and tag are so striking - love the blue and silver!!!!! Keep well!!!

Very cool candy cane card! Love the non-traditional colors and how you've tucked your silver behind them, as well as in the sentiment. And I do love those birch trees....I can just hear my credit card groaning.... But your cards/tag = fantastic. Miss you. Bev

Wow!! Your first card is so pretty! I love the sliver and your coloring is gorgeous! The second card, be still my heart!! I do love the birch trees!! They look so beautiful with the blended blue background!! Beautiful work my friend! (Hugs)

Great cards Carol! So festive! Your silver die sentiments look wonderful and I have to admit that I am a little partial to the second card because I have a serious love of trees! Those birch trees are just fantastic!- Shauna

Carol your candy cane card is so fun and the colours are fantastic! Now your card/tag combo is gorgeous in blue! I bet the sparkle is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with me at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags!

I've been wanting to come by sooner to tell how awesome this card is!! Love those candy canes! Great colours too. I love the Rudolph movie as well. We have it on DVD and watch it every year. Donovan likes it too. :-)

Welcome to "Just Me: c", my work-in-progress, new learning space where I dabble in the 'art of the card.' I'm an enthusiastic amateur, with plenty to learn. Sometimes - okay, often - silly 'what was she thinking' things will appear. Thanks for stopping by...
